Happy Juneteenth Day


There are many misconceptions of slavery in the Bible and this is where many people go wrong. They take out what they want to believe and omit what is truth. That’s why is is important to read the Bible, pray and get your wisdom from God who gives it generously and accurately of what His word means. 

Let’s start off with Genesis 15:13 Amplified Version: 


13 And [God] said to Abram, Know positively that your descendants will be strangers dwelling as temporary residents in a land that is not theirs [Egypt], and they will be slaves there and will be afflicted and oppressed for 400 years - which was fulfilled in Exodus 12:40-51. Remember God said, “Let my people go”. And when Pharaoh didn’t, God pored out His Judgement on him and his people the Egyptians. 


Also recall Jesus was afflicted and oppressed by those who were in opposition to God. Isaiah 53:7-8, Matthew 27:11-14, Mark 15:1-5, Luke23:9-12, John 18:1-3)


Being afflicted and oppressed is a sin

Isaiah 1:16-17 (AMPC) 


16 Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes! Cease to do evil,

17 Learn to do right! Seek justice, relieve the oppressed, and correct the oppressor. Defend the fatherless, plead for the widow.


There are many translations of the Bible; however they are one in the same. Some Bible translations say Bond Servants, others say Slaves. Now Bond Servants in the Bible translates Human nobility. Being God’s servant is an honorable position, which is usually prophets and priests. Someone who is absolutely devoted to Jesus. In II Timothy 6:2 speaks about those who have believing Masters should not disrespect or be scornful to them, instead teach and urge them because we all brothers in Christ. Again Master (leader) slave (servant). Now our Master is Jesus Christ and we are all His bond servants to those who believe. 


As we March on to and in the presence of God, remember your circumcision is in your heart to follow after Jesus and bring about change so we all unite as brothers and sisters in Christ (The Anointed One) in Love. Love covers a multitude of sins so that ALL are treated fairly and just. 


Happy Juneteenth Day!  Love you All in Christ Jesus!

ALL Things Become NEW!

Every "New Year" brings new things, but we must transform our minds and hearts to let go of the old and embrace the new. Once a door is closed in the spirit, it cannot be opened, yet we hold on to the past that keeps our minds trapped to something that is debilitating rather than enlightening. Thoughts and words have power, and scripture tells us in Proverbs 18:21, "Death and Life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof." It has been studied that words of encouragement brings confidence in a person, good mental health, they believe in themselves to do well in life, they have better physical health, are more resilient, have good coping methods, know they are loved,  and have a calm spirit. Negative words are harsh and cause anger in a person, stress, they lose confidence and self-worth, they give up and feel there is no hope for them in anything they do, and no one loves them; in addition they are prone to depression and a...

A Lost Service?

There are so many things lacking in our lives today and the only thing that is going to fill that void is serving Yahweh and serving others. Volunteering and serving others and Yahweh (which he called himself [a servant]) breaks that spirit of selfishness, self gratification, and self destruction.   Teens volunteering which builds character and great leaders  Scripture reads in Proverbs 16:27 Ethiopian Bible: 27  An ungodly man digs up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire. Which translates a ungodly man looks for trouble and manipulates others to do unlawful    acts. Many have heard this verse as, “Idle hands is the devil’s workshop.” Hands represent honest work in the Bible, or doing what is right in the eyes of Yahweh and man. The Bible also speaks of unclean hands that do bad things or are works of the devil. If you are sitting around in your feelings, get out and volunteer, help someone, serve at a food pantry, start a neighborhood garden; someth...

Let the "Light" Shine

Early Parchment of The Constitution Early American Settlers We are dealing with devils in the leadership in America and here’s the hypocrisy of it all, ALL of them that has been in office from the beginning of America’s birth, have overlooked lynching, starvation, terrorism of the Klu Klux Klan (KKK), lying, hate, sexual impurity, killing defenseless woman and children, just deep oppression - and want to say America was founded on Biblical foundations. Now whose Bible or whose Yahweh is this that promotes violence, evil, hate, and injustice? Yahweh gave Moses laws, instructions and promises to give to the people to live by and many call it the Ten Commandments, which Yahweh gave Moses hundreds of laws and there is no place, I have read, that this is the ten commandments.  What I read is that Yahweh gave them unto the people so that they will not sin and fear Him and obey His Commandments with favor, which is life, in the land. But this is just the beginning of the laws Yahweh gave ...
